USS Richard L. Page (FFG-5) History:

USS Richard L. Page (FFG-5) was a Brooke class frigate in the United States Navy.

Richard L. Page was laid down on 4 January 1965 by the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; launched 4 April 1966; sponsored by Miss Edmonia Lee Whittle and Mrs. Nannie Page Trinker, granddaughters of Brigadier General Richard L. Page; and commissioned at Boston on 5 August 1967, Comdr. Milton J. Schultz, Jr., in command.

In mid-October 1967, Richard L. Page moved from Boston to her homeport, Newport, Rhode Island, then sailed south for shakedown exercises in the Caribbean. On 21 December she returned to Newport and, after post-shakedown availability began operations with CortRon 6. Into 1968 she operated in the western Atlantic; and, in the fall, she deployed to the Mediterranean for duty with the 6th Fleet. On that duty until 10 February 1969, she returned to Newport on the 18th and, in March, resumed operations with the 2nd Fleet. On 1 July 1969, she relieved USS Brumby (DE-1044) as flagship of DesDiv 122, then conducted exercises in the Caribbean.

Richard L. Page spent all of 1971 and the first eight months of 1972 in port at Newport and in operations along the east-coast of the United States and in the Caribbean. In mid-August 1972, she steamed out of Newport, R.I., bound for an extended deployment with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean.
